I've got the short cuff version. They do what they are supposed to do - keep hands dry in the rain and warm enough for most winter riding (I do switch to heated gloves when its below freezing). They are expensive at around £160 and I'm not sure they are any better than others at that price. I didn't pay that amount as I bought a pair to go with a Badlands jacket and got a nice discount on the deal. Too warm for the summer so only really mild winter/autumn temps for me.
Thanks for that its helpfull and has nmade up my mind. Its the short version i want as i too have a badlands and the cuff arrangement is a pain in the Arse with my current gloves. I have a mate who will be in the states and he will pick a pair up for me and as they are $169 and the exchange rate is decent i thought they could be worthwhile !
I would say at that price they're a good set of gloves and are much easier to get on with the Badlands than anything else I have. I ended up going a size down from normal though as in usual US style the Klim gear seems larger than euro sizing. If you can't try a pair on you'll have to take the risk.

I have a pair of these Gloves & in MHO they are the best gloves I've had in 35yrs to warm for summer use but warm & dry in the Autumn Winter & Spring.
Totally agree. I also have short cuff version and have exactly the same opinion. It's a close call between these and Rukka Apollo. On balance I'd say these are a bit warmer (sometimes good, sometimes bad!) and maybe a bit tougher/better made but the Rukka's are a better/closer fit and have a lot more feel...

What Tyre pressure you running
I sell them in the shop but I do have a choice of every glove available
They are close to the perfect glove IMO. Not too bulky but 100% waterproof and very comfy. I wear them all year round.
If you want a deal on a pair then let me know!!!!

If I can't get a pair picked up in the US I will be paying you a visit !
And that is no reflection on you but at £169 they are a bit steep in UK

I have a pair of Klim Powerxcross gloves. They were circa £70 (I think). i can thoroughly recommend them. They are waterproof (Goretex) and not overly hot for summer and Spring/Autumn use
I got these gloves at Xmas but as i haven't been out on the bike until yeaterday not had a chance to try them! (waits for abuse on none winter riding)
any way as it was a nice day yesterday and the itch has been getting itchier i went out for a little tootle and wore the gloves
Expensive they might be but OMG are they good. It wasnt exactly warm yesterday butI didnt need the heated grips which suprised me as i suffer from cold hands even in the warmer months and for the lack of bulk the gloves have i was impressed.
They are also very comfy to wear probably due to the design and materials used so all in all i am well pleased !

I have a pair of the short cuff version & they're superb. I was pissed when I bought them 2 years ago @ the Hog Raost from ABW stand in the rugby club bar....best glove purchase I ever made
I just bought pair of these gloves, the short cuff ones. I was leaning toward the Held Air n Dry, but I ended up getting the Klim.
